Christmas Eve eve

Cold here in NE Louisiana, but no snow. Plenty of rain and cold, however. The fat guy is gonna have to mush-mud here.
Nevertheless: Merry Christmas.

Memphis Book signing

Book signing went great at Booksellers at Laurelwood. Lynda Lee Meade Shea, Miss Mississippi/America 1960, came by and we got to visit. Lynda was an early contrbutor of praise for Mississippi Cotton. She is a  genuine Southern lady.

"I not only recommend him to your intelligent notice, but personally endorse him."
Mark Twain

A good old Alabama boy won a bass boat in a raffle drawing.  He brought it
home and his wife looks at him and says,

"What you gonna do with that. There ain't no water deep enough to float a
boat within 100 miles of here."

He says, "I won it and I'm a-gonna keep it."

His brother came over to visit several days later. He sees the wife and asks
where his brother is.  She says,
"He's out there in his bass boat", pointing to the cotton field behind the house.

The brother heads out behind the house and sees his brother in the middle of
the  cotton field sitting in a bass boat with a fishing rod in his hand.  He yells out to him, "What you doin'?"

His brother replies, "I'm fishin'. What does it look like I'm a doin'?"

His brother yells, "It's people like you that give  Alabama a bad
name, makin' everybody think we're stupid. If I could swim, I'd come out there and whip your butt!"
